Many of our sanctioned events have specific classes and divisions just for our youth riders.  Whether it is 11 & Under or 17 & Under classes, there is something for every age.  We encourage our youth riders to compete in the show ring as their efforts will be well rewarded.  Many of our year end high point categories are specific to our youth competitors.
